A method for predicting leakage losses in
axial compressor grates is disclosed. This method calculates the grate
leakage flow rate based on the inlet and outlet aerodynamic parameters at the compressor's planar blade mid-
diameter and the grate geometric parameters. Then, it calculates the compressor's mainstream loss caused by the grate leakage by comparing the grate
leakage flow rate with the compressor's mainstream flow rate. Finally, it determines the influence range and
radial distribution law of the grate leakage loss using the compressor's planar blade geometric parameters. This invention targets compressor stators with grate seals. During compressor design and analysis, it eliminates the need for experimental measurements. It predicts grate
leakage flow losses using the aerodynamic parameters at the
stator's mid-
diameter and the geometric parameters of the grate cavity, considering the
impact of the leakage flow on the compressor
stator blade passages. This allows for the incorporation of the radial influence of grate leakage on compressor outlet performance into the compressor's flow
path design and analysis, predicting the grate leakage flow rate, and the influence range and magnitude of the
stator outlet loss caused by the grate leakage flow, thus achieving more refined flow path calculations for axial compressors.
